What is the impact to a recruit or my progress on a recruit if I inform them of a redshirt? Does it matter more or less if the have the wants to play preference?

It is a significant negative factor. Prior to 3.0, a pretty good estimate was that it was like a negative two-four home visits. Not sure how big now.

I guess but cant say that I have data to support it that it is worse for a wants to play kid

Keep in mind while the negative impact is real, you can always offset it with enough recruiting effort. I'm not 100% certain though if they have a wants to play preference, if it can be offset the same since I haven't tried. I'd be willing to bet you could though. I doubt a kid is going juco if you've pumped 10 HVs into him with a bunch AP and are the only legit offer (Very High).

I just don't inform anyone and then hope 1 of the guys that I want to rs will take it. They usually do.

You are better off not informing him at D1 for sure. I have seen a general trend towards "a cooling off" in 3.0.
